We Might Be Finally Getting Cupcake And Bagel Emoji

Smartphone users are still waiting patiently for the 2017 new emoji release — including a much-needed sandwich emoji and a fortune cookie emoji. While a release date hasn't been set, Apple, Samsung, Google, and Microsoft users will soon have access to 56 new emoji.

But in the meantime, the Unicode Consortium — which decides everything emoji-related — is already considering at least 67 new emoji ideas that could make their way to smartphones in 2018. A few notable food-related suggestions include a lobster, lettuce, mango, bagel, cupcake, and even a salt emoji.

This would mean being able to send multiple emojis in a row to your best friend to express your undying need for a morning bagel — because that's just what happens on Mondays. Also, the salt emoji can have a double use as a food emoji and a hint to your friends and family when you're feeling a little salty yourself. The possibilities are endless.

In addition to these delicious-looking emoji, some other useful emoji are being proposed —including toilet paper, a suitcase, a fire extinguisher, and a receipt emoji, perfect for when you have the evidence that your friend lied about "borrowing" your favorite top. Some more fun emoji are also under consideration, such as hero and villain emoji, a partying emoji, and, of course, an "inebriated" emoji with a squiggly smile.

Not to mention, a frowning poop emoji is also on the table as a potential contender. This would be perfect all those times you feel down in the dumps or you want to remind your friend that even if they feel like a frowning poop emoji, they'll always be the smiling poop emoji to you.

A few of the more questionable emoji up for consideration include a microbe, a petri dish, an abacus, and apparently, an evil-eye amulet. Come on, what about a waffle emoji? A pickle emoji? Maybe even a mac n' cheese emoji?

Still, these are all just drafts that may or may not make it to phone screens in the future. In the meantime, combining the cheese emoji with the spaghetti emoji on mac n' cheese night will just have to do.
